Gambling can affect your finances, relationships and health. If it is causing you concern, you can seek help now. You do not need to wait until the situation becomes more serious. The NHS guide to gambling-related harm explains the risks and routes to support.
pe7game.org is an independent information website. We do not operate PE7 or manage player accounts. This page explains warning signs and practical options for reducing harm, including stopping gambling altogether.
Do not treat gambling as income or a way to pay off debt. Protect money needed for food, housing, bills and other commitments, and avoid borrowing to gamble. If gambling has affected your finances, seek support with the debt rather than trying to win it back. These steps are consistent with the NHS guidance.
If you choose to gamble where it is lawful, decide in advance how much time and money you will spend. Use available account controls to support those limits. The Gambling Commission’s safer gambling resources explain tools for managing time, spending and access.
Limits do not make gambling risk-free. If you repeatedly exceed them or feel unable to stop, take a break and seek support.

These are reasons to seek support, rather than a diagnosis. You can read more about them in GambleAware’s guide to the signs of gambling harm.

The Gambling Commission and NHS describe these types of support. Availability and coverage vary. A block or exclusion scheme may not cover every operator, app or payment method.
We have not verified which of these tools PE7 provides. pe7game.org cannot apply limits, close a PE7 account or arrange self-exclusion on your behalf. Contact the actual operator for account controls and use independent support where needed.
Gambling Therapy offers free practical advice and emotional support internationally to people affected by gambling. Visit the service directly to check its current support options.
GambleAware provides information about gambling harms and routes to support in Great Britain. Its local services may not be available in other countries.
If you need help closer to home, ask a local healthcare professional about gambling support services in your area. If you are in immediate danger or feel you may harm yourself, contact your local emergency service or go to the nearest emergency department. Our website contact form is not an emergency service.
Our gaming-related content is intended for adults aged 18 and over. This is our audience restriction, not a statement that gambling becomes lawful everywhere at 18. Follow the age and eligibility rules that apply in your location.
Parents and carers can use device restrictions and avoid leaving gaming accounts or payment access available to children. The Gambling Commission provides guidance on protecting young people.
You can seek support even if you do not gamble yourself. Gambling Therapy supports people affected by gambling, and GambleAware includes information for family and friends.
